Question

Hi, is there a rationale for not allowing dashes(-) in the identifier name?

"Identifiers can only contain the following characters: a-zA-Z_0-9"

We're evaluating the usage of this tool at Delivery Hero, and most of our identifiers use dash, and would be significantly easier for us if we could continue using what we have.
